ausEE Inc Virtual Show 2021: Heal your skin, Naturally!

Hemp Co Australia is a new skincare line that was specifically  designed with sensitive skin in mind. We created our products as we needed to remove all the toxins in our house and that we were using on our skin. But nothing seemed to work, or was really natural once you did a little deeper research. So I created a list of products usi9ng ingredients that I was happy to use everyday and found a chemist who specialises in sensitive skin skincare and we started creating the products for personal use. Then we have expanded after seeing amazing results in different users.

ausEE Inc Virtual Show 2021: Feeding Difficulties in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders: What does Speech Pathology have to do with it? – Carly Veness

Feeding and swallowing difficulties are more common in children with Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDs). Any problems with the gastrointestinal tract can contribute to problems with eating, drinking and the enjoyment of mealtimes. Managing feeding and swallowing difficulties requires a multidisciplinary team, with speech pathologists playing a central role in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of feeding disorders. We will discuss the relationship between EGIDs and feeding difficulties, and how feed aversions develop in children with gastrointestinal conditions. Management principles, referral pathways and further resources will also be shared.

ausEE Inc Virtual Show 2021: Eosinophilic gut disorders and misdiagnosis: we may be missing EGIDs – Laureate Professor Nicholas Talley

Eosinophilic GI disorders (EGIDs) are diagnosed when increased eosinophils are identified in the gastrointestinal tract in patients with chronic otherwise unexplained gut symptoms. EGIDs are considered to be rare. The symptoms of patients with EGIDs are very similar to the symptoms reported by patients with functional gut disorders such as the irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia. We have new data that suggest EGIDs are often misdiagnosed as a functional gut disorder. EGIDs may be underdiagnosed because tissues biopsies (or not enough biopsies) are obtained, and pathologists do not routinely look for and count the number of eosinophils present.
